A Colorado Springs city councilman who voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in last year’s presidential election is planning to run as a Republican in the growing race to unseat six-term incumbent Congressman Doug Lamborn. Tom Strand — who has been in and out of the GOP over the past roughly 18 months — says he plans to formally announce his campaign for the 5th Congressional District seat in September. Strand, who was a registered Democrat until last year before joining the Republican Party (only to become unaffiliated and then rejoin the GOP in the wake of President Donald Trump’s election), hopes to offer a moderate choice for voters.
